I'VE BEEN. PARTICIPATING WITH THE THE CHAMBER'S LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS THE LEAGUE POLICY COMMITTEE, LEAGUE'S LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEE. SO THERE'S BEEN NECK DEEP IN THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT WORKING PERSONALLY ON ANY BILLS.

AND AND ADAM DID A GREAT JOB TODAY SUMMARIZING THE BIG IMPORTANT ONES AND WHAT'S GOING ON. SO JUST THOSE THOSE ONES TO WATCH FOR THAT WATER BILL. THE WATER WATER BILLING BILL IS BIG.

AND THEN THE PROPERTY TAX BILLS ARE ONES THAT WE'RE VERY WATCHING VERY CLOSELY. AND ADAM DID A GREAT JOB RUNNING IT DOWN. BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN GREAT WORKING WITH HIM AND HELPING HIM ALONG THOSE LINES. I WOULD SECOND THAT THAT WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK THAT ADAM DOES. AND IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH THOSE THINGS ON THE HILL AFFECT OUR CITY. AND WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE WATCHING OUT AND HELPING. IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE NO ONE ELSE COMING IN FOR THE COUNCIL REPORT, SO WE'LL MOVE

[b. Mayor’s Report]

THEY'RE FORECASTING RAIN THURSDAY. SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. SO THAT'S MAKING GREAT PROGRESS. WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT BRIDGE OVER THERE FOR OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS. LAST SATURDAY WAS OUR OOPS I'M NOT THERE YET. YEAH LAST WEEK WAS OUR FIRST GRAND OPENING. AND THAT IS A WATER PURIFIER DEVICE THAT CLEANS YOUR WATER ABOVE AND BEYOND THE GREAT CLEAN WATER YOU ALREADY GET FROM WEST JORDAN. SO IT TAKES CHLORINE OUT THAT WAS IN THAT WATER THAT MAKES IT SAFER AND OTHER THINGS AS WELL. AND SO I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT THERE FOR THEIR RIBBON CUTTING. AND THEY ARE LOCATED OVER ON AIRPORT ROAD. THEIR HEADQUARTERS IS IN FLORIDA AND THIS IS THEIR UTAH TERRITORY BRANCH RIGHT HERE ON, ON, ON AIRPORT ROAD. ALSO WE OUR FIRST FRIDAY CONCERT WAS HAPPENED LAST FRIDAY AND SADLY I MISSED IT BECAUSE I HAD A GRANDCHILD GET BORN IN CALIFORNIA ON WEDNESDAY AND I WAS IN CALIFORNIA, BUT THEY HELD IT ANYWAY, WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. SO THE MAYOR'S GONE AND THE FIRST FRIDAY CONCERT HAPPENED, AND YOU CAN SEE WE HAD SOME GOOD ATTENDANCE. THIS IS THE BINGO CALLING THAT YOU. JESSICA'S PICTURE IS IN THERE, AND SOME OTHERS FROM THE COUNCIL WILL HELP AND CALL BINGO. SO THANK YOU FOR CALLING BINGO. IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE TO BE A BINGO CALLER. I'M NOT GOING TO LIE, PEOPLE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY. THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE. THOSE LITTLE NUMBERS, AS YOU CALL, MAKE A BIG DEAL TO THE PEOPLE SITTING AT THE TABLES. OKAY.

AND THE SMALL, TALL BALL THAT'S COMING UP THIS WEEK. I HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR TICKETS FOR IT. I'M VERY EXCITED. I'LL BE THERE WITH SOME OF MY OTHER GRANDCHILDREN. AND WHAT'S NOT SHOWING ON THIS HERE IS WE ARE DOING OUR OUR SPECIAL CENTURY PERCEPTIVE. ANYWAY, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT LIGHTS FLASHING OR LOUD NOISES, WE'RE HAVING A SPECIAL ONE EARLIER JUST FOR THEM, WHICH WILL BE CALMER AND QUIETER. I WILL SHOW UP TO THAT AND I'LL WORK REAL HARD ON BEING CALM AND QUIET, BUT THEN I'LL BE READY FOR THE 630 PART WHEN WE GET TO LAY OUT THE LIGHTS AND THE FLASH AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. SO THERE MIGHT STILL BE A TICKET LEFT. HURRY AND CHECK AND SEE IF THERE IS OUR CRAFT AND CRAVINGS IS COMING UP. THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING ON FEBRUARY 18TH OVER OUR BRAND NEW COPPER. I'M SORRY, CANYON

[00:10:07]

[a. Resolution No. 26-004 Memorandum of Understanding with Novovorontsovka Settlement Council, Ukraine]

AND THEY ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ME. I HOPE THAT IN THEIR TIME HERE IN UTAH, THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW THEM A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WAY WE DO THINGS IN OUR STATE. WE HAVE FANTASTIC CITIES HERE, WE HAVE FANTASTIC RESIDENTS HERE, AND THERE ARE GREAT THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN CITIES ARE SERVING THEIR RESIDENTS AND PROVIDING SERVICES IN A WAY THAT MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR OUR RESIDENTS. AND AND SO WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT. WE WANTED TO SHOW THEM WE HAVE A SERIES OF VISITS WITH SOME CITIES ALONG THE WASATCH FRONT THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF SEE HOW WE DO THINGS. THIS AFTERNOON, AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, WE SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OUT AT PUBLIC, A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OUT AT PUBLIC WORKS HERE IN WEST JORDAN. AND IT WAS A GREAT VISIT. I WAS JUST SO THRILLED TO SEE OUR WEST JORDAN STAFF JUST INSTANTLY CONNECT WITH THESE VISITORS FROM UKRAINE.

AND THERE IS CERTAINLY A LANGUAGE BARRIER. THEY SPEAK ENGLISH VERY WELL, BUT IT'S STILL A LITTLE BIT TRICKY, YOU KNOW, IN A SECOND LANGUAGE. AND I HAD THIS THOUGHT THAT OCCURRED TO ME THAT THERE ARE A FEW UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD. THERE'S LOVE, THERE'S MUSIC. SOME PEOPLE SAY FOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD WATER INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE LIST, BECAUSE THE WAY THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO CONNECT AND THE WAY THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO BOND OVER THIS SHARED ENDEAVOR THAT THEY ARE SO COMMITTED TO, WAS, I DON'T WANT TO USE A WORD THAT'S TOO BIG, BUT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS REALLY, REALLY COOL FOR ME TO SEE. AS

[00:15:01]

IT'S A COMMUNITY THAT'S ON THE FRONT LINES, JUST TEN KILOMETERS, ABOUT SIX MILES FROM THE RUSSIAN POSITION CURRENTLY IN UKRAINE. IT'S A COMMUNITY THAT IS LIVING UNDER THE CONSTANT THREAT OF THAT RUSSIAN INVASION. BUT IT'S A COMMUNITY THAT PERSISTS. IT'S A COMMUNITY THAT IS DOING EVERYTHING IT CAN TO OVERCOME AND TO THRIVE, AND TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE THERE. AND THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, WE'RE WITH YOU. WE WANT TO SUPPORT YOU AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING. SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT'S BEFORE YOU COUNCIL. HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE OTHER ANSWERS. IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO. IS THERE ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK OR ASK ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I'M COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. THANK YOU. THIS JUST A THOUGHT THAT JUST OCCURRED TO ME OVER THE LAST ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF THIS MEETING WHERE THE MAYOR MENTIONED STANDING ON THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE. I HOPE I CAN GET THIS OUT AT 70 SOUTH, THIS PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE THAT WE'RE BUILDING, THIS IS A THING THAT WE DO IN OUR CITY TO MAKE A WAY FOR CHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL SAFER. AND THESE GUYS ARE SIX MILES AWAY FROM BRIDGES BEING DESTROYED AS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE THAT ARE BRIDGES. THEY'RE MEAN SO MUCH MORE THAN BRIDGES HERE. WE WE WE BUILD PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES SO OUR CHILDREN CAN WALK TO SCHOOL SAFELY. THEY'RE BUILDING BRIDGES SO THAT THEIR MILITARY CAN GET TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE TO DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY. IT'S IT'S IT PUTS IT IN PERSPECTIVE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. YES, THE THE DECISIONS WE MAKE HERE AS A COUNCIL OF A CITY IN PEACEFUL UTAH, RELATIVELY PEACEFUL UTAH. IT'S NOT ALWAYS QUITE SO PEACEFUL, BUT THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE HERE, WHILE THEY ARE IMPORTANT, WELL, THEY DO AFFECT THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE WE REPRESENT PALES IN COMPARISON TO WHAT IT COULD BE.

AND I AM JUST I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH DECISIONS OF THAT MAGNITUDE, THAT EVEN AS CITY LEADERS, WHEN THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT, WHETHER IT SHOULD BE FIVE UNITS PER ACRE OR TEN UNITS PER ACRE.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE CAN DRINK WATER, PERIOD. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TALKING A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL. IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME. WHEN WHEN THE STAKES ARE THAT HIGH.

SO IT'S JUST IT'S IT'S JUST A STARK THAT JUST THE BRIDGE. THE MENTION OF THE BRIDGE JUST GAVE ME JUST THIS, THIS MOMENT OF CLARITY, THIS STARK DIFFERENCE AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD. AND YEAH, WE'VE GOT OUR PROBLEMS AND YEAH, WE'VE GOT OUR DISAGREEMENTS AND WE'VE GOT OUR ISSUES, BUT THEY THEY TRULY PALE IN COMPARISON TO WHAT IT COULD BE. AND I THINK WE NEED TO PAUSE AND BE GRATEFUL FOR A MOMENT THAT WE HAVE IT GOOD. AND WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT.

AND AND IT'S NOT LIFE AND DEATH WHETHER A DEVELOPMENT HAS FIVE UNITS OR SEVEN UNITS OR TEN UNITS AN ACRE, THAT'S LIFE AND DEATH. THIS IS JUST, YOU KNOW, FIVE MINUTES OF TRAFFIC IS IS WHAT WE'RE ARGUING ABOUT. SO THANKS. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO THANK OUR ATTORNEY, JOSH CHANDLER, FOR BRINGING THE DELEGATION HERE. AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE HERE SUPPORTING THEM. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO SOME OF THEIR EXPERIENCES YESTERDAY. AND MY SISTER SAID, DIDN'T YOU JUST SIT AND CRY? AND I DIDN'T BECAUSE REALLY, IT WAS JUST SO INSPIRING THAT THEY ARE SO PATRIOTIC, SO WILLING TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO KEEP THEIR CULTURE AND THEIR CITIES. TWO OF THEM SAID THAT THEY WERE TEACHERS. NOW THEY HAVE OTHER ROLES THAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT THE ONE WAS A HISTORY TEACHER, AND HE KNEW WHERE THERE WERE SOME MAPS ABOUT WELLS. SO WHEN THEIR RESERVOIR, THEIR WATER

[00:20:07]

THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, I'D LIKE TO ADD ALMOST GOING OFF A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT COUNCILMEMBER JACOBS SAID THE MAYOR EARLIER WAS TALKING ABOUT WEST JORDAN AND HOW WE TOUCH SO MANY DIFFERENT CITIES THAT WE'RE KIND OF IN THE HEART OF ALL OF THIS, AND IN THAT WE ARE OFTEN WE DECLARE OURSELVES A, YOU KNOW, A GOOD NEIGHBOR CITY. WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOOD NEIGHBORS. AND WE MEAN THAT INTERNALLY. YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GOOD NEIGHBORS TO EACH OTHER IN THE CITY, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THOSE THAT WE BORDER AND THOSE THAT WE CAN HELP. AND THAT'S WITH THAT. I, I LOVE HOW MUCH, MR. CHANDLER, YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO BROADEN OUR SCOPE OF BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR, BECAUSE ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THAT IS, YOU KNOW, IN SOME WAYS, WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS, IT WAS, WELL, THEY'RE COMING TO KIND OF LEARN WHAT WE DO AND WHAT THEY CAN TAKE BACK AND ALL OF THAT. AND AT FIRST I WAS, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT THAT THAT'S GREAT, WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP. BUT THEN YOU HERE LIKE THINGS COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK JUST SAID HOW MUCH WE LEARN FROM THEM AND FROM. HOW MUCH YOU REALLY WANT TO PRESERVE WHAT YOU HAVE AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS AND AND HOW THE FIGHT FOR THAT. IS ALWAYS JUST. AND SO, AS COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK SAID, WE THANK YOU FOR COMING. WE KNOW I THINK THE ORIGINAL OUR IDEA WAS WE'RE GOING TO HELP YOU. AND WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP, BUT I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HELP REMIND US OF HOW IMPORTANT WHAT WE DO IS IN HELPING PRESERVE WHAT WE WANT TO DO HERE IN OUR CITY. SO I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT. NOW LOOK TO SEE WE HAVE THIS MEMORANDUM OF OF UNDERSTANDING, AND I'D LIKE TO JUST SEE IF THERE IS A ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS. OH, THEY'RE RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME. IF I'D LOOK AND WIPE MY EYES. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26, DASH ZERO ZERO FOR AMENDMENT. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH. NOVOVORONTSOVKA SETTLEMENT COUNCIL IN UKRAINE. AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO PROVE THAT HE SAID THAT CORRECTLY. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, I SECOND THE MOTION, THE WHOLE THING. SAY THE WHOLE THING. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK AND SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. MISS SLOAN, I BELIEVE WE ARE READY FOR A VOTE. THANK YOU. CHAIR BADOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES.

I JUST WANT TO DO IT. YEAH? YEAH. OKAY. THANK. I THINK I CAN, I MAYBE IN HERE. YES. MISTER WEST JORDAN. FROM THE NAME OF OUR COMMUNITY, I WANT TO PRESENT THIS SPECIAL GIFT TO THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WEST JORDAN. THIS SPECIAL GIFT THAT WE GOT, SIR, A LIGHT BOX. THIS IS THE LIGHT BOX. THE EMBLEM.

[b. Recognition of Trevor John Crane]

CHAIR. SO WE'RE SADDENED BY THE LOSS OF OF TREVOR CRANE. WHO? WEST JORDAN NATIVE WHO DIED WHILE VOLUNTEERING IN THE DEFENSE OF UKRAINE. TREVOR CAME FROM A FAMILY DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SERVE. HIS MOTHER SERVES AS A COUNCIL MEMBER IN SANTA CLARA, AND HIS AUNT IS A MEMBER OF WEST JORDAN'S ROTARY CLUB. HIS DECISION TO VOLUNTEER REFLECTED A LIFELONG STANDING, CONNECTION TO THE PUBLIC SERVICE AND HELPING OTHERS. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE MANY PEOPLE INTERACTED IMPACTED BY HIS LIFE AND SERVICE. WEST JORDAN IS HONORED TO RECOGNIZE TREVOR AND EXTEND OUR GRATITUDE TO HIS FAMILY. IF I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR HIS FAMILY HERE. PROBABLY HIS MOTHER.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, I SAY FLAG, AND THIS IS THE WEST JORDAN CITY FLAG.

THANK YOU.

TO OUR FROM THE UKRAINIAN NATION AND THE COMMUNITY OF NORWALK. SO WE

[00:35:03]

COME AROUND. IT'S AN HONOR TO. BE PRESENTED THIS FOR IN BEHALF OF MY SON, TREVOR JOHN CRANE. HE LOVED UKRAINE, LOVED THE PEOPLE. AND I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD GO FIGHT IN A WAR THAT HE DIDN'T NEED TO. BUT HE VOLUNTEERED, AND I COULDN'T TALK HIM OUT OF IT. AND THEN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, HE KEPT TELLING ME, MOM, I HAVE TWO WEEKS OFF, COME VISIT ME. I'M LIKE, I JUST. I KEPT GETTING TOLD, DON'T GO OVER THERE. IT'S A WAR ZONE. DON'T GO OVER TO UKRAINE. AND I THEN FOLLOWED MY HEART AND I KNEW I NEEDED TO GET OVER THERE. AND I SPENT TWO WEEKS WITH MY SON, AND THOSE TWO WEEKS. I'M GOING TO CHERISH THE REST OF MY LIFE, SO I'M GLAD I FOLLOWED THE PROMPTINGS. HE TOOK ME TO THAT MEMORIAL IN KYIV. AND I TOLD HIM, YOU BETTER NOT END UP AS A FLAG IN THIS PLACE. BUT HE WAS A HERO IN HIS LIFE AND HE DIED A HERO. AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE HERE TO RECOGNIZE HIM. AND I, I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE AN HONOR IF I COULD GET A PICTURE WITH A DELEGATION AND HAVE HIS BROTHER AND SISTER AND HIS DAD TO COME UP AND JOIN US AS WELL. IS THAT OKAY? OKAY. ALSO THE COUNCIL HAD CONGREGATED LIKE. THE WEST JORDAN CITY COUNCIL HAS A CITY OF RECOGNITION THAT WE ARE PRESENTING TO THE FAMILY OF TREVOR JOHN CRANE. I'LL READ WHAT IT SAYS. THIS CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION HONORS THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF TREVOR JOHN CRANE, A WEST JORDAN NATIVE WHOSE PROFOUND SENSE OF DUTY AND COMPASSION LED HIM ACROSS THE GLOBE TO DEFEND THE INNOCENT. A FORMER SALT LAKE COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF WHO GREW UP IN OUR COMMUNITY, TREVOR EXEMPLIFIED THE HIGHEST IDEALS OF SERVICE, ULTIMATELY MAKING THE SUPREME SACRIFICE WHILE VOLUNTEERING TO DEFEND THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE AGAINST TYRANNY. HIS COURAGE WAS MATCHED ONLY BY HIS SELFLESSNESS, SELFLESSNESS, LEAVING BEHIND A LEGACY OF BRAVERY THAT TRANSCENDS BORDERS AND INSPIRES US ALL. THE WEST JORDAN CITY COUNCIL, ON BEHALF OF OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY, EXTENDS OUR DEEPEST GRATITUDE AND HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY, ENSURING THAT TREVOR'S HEROISM AND HIS COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

PRESENTED THIS FEBRUARY 10TH, 2026 AND IS SIGNED BY ALL OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND WE ALSO HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU AS WELL, MOM.

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND BUT ARE LISTENING, YOU CAN BUT IN WRITTEN COMMENTS AND THEY MAY BE SUBMITTED BEFORE, DURING OR FOLLOWING THE MEETING VIA EMAIL TO COUNCIL COMMENTS AT WEST JORDAN UTAH.GOV. SO WE'LL NOW OPEN UP THE FLOOR IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK. I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS PRE-FILLED OUT, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. YOU CAN COME UP.

WE ONLY ASK THAT YOU FIRST STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBERS. WHAT I'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW IT'S FAR. CAN YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE? OKAY. THANK YOU. REGAL RAMIREZ, CITY OF RESIDENT, 30 YEAR RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN. SO I'VE BEEN HERE, YOU KNOW, HAVING PARTICIPATED IN THIS, BUT I REALLY LIKE MAYOR SAID IT'S I'VE SEEN YOU TWICE AND EVERYBODY KIND OF WONDER WHAT WHAT'S GOING ON. ANYWAY, WE'RE WITH THE CARPENTERS UNION AND YEARS AGO WE WERE INVOLVED IN, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY SERVICE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND DUE TO COVID, WE KIND OF DROPPED IT A LITTLE BIT AND WE WANT TO GET BACK IN THE GAME. WE WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN PARTICIPATING, VOLUNTEERING PROJECTS, ANYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE OUT THERE FOR THAT WE CAN DO FOR THE CITY. I DID MAKE CONTACT WITH GLORIA MAHER. WE ALREADY WE'RE GOING TO SCHEDULE A MEETING AND KIND OF LIKE PLANNED AND THAT. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF LIKE SEE AND WE'LL, WE'LL YOU'LL SEE US HERE VERY REGULARLY WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT EVERY TIME WITH A LITTLE GROUP AND, AND, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATE AND ANYTHING THAT NEEDS AND AND HELP THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, HERE IN WEST JORDAN.

[00:50:08]

AGAIN, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR MY VERY SMALL THING TONIGHT. AGAIN, GIVEN THE CONTEXT OF EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE MEETING, OR THERE'S SO MUCH OUT THERE AND I APPRECIATE ALL THAT EVERYBODY DOES SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND ALSO, I'M PUTTING ON RECORD THE APPROVAL OF A BUTTON PUSHER FOR ME. IS THERE ANYONE NOW WHO HAS FELT COMPELLED HERE IN THE ROOM TO COME UP AND SPEAK? MR. ANDERSON, HAS ANYONE JOINED MR. MCCONAUGHEY ONLINE? NO. ALL RIGHT THEN. I THINK I'M NOW AT LIBERTY TO SAY THAT I CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR FIRST OF OUR EXCUSE ME, OF OUR PUBLIC

[a. Ordinance No. 26-05 a Petition from Titan Property Management, LLC to Rezone 14.73 Acres to Light Industrial (M-1) and Amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to Light Industrial for the Titan West Jordan Project Located at 5927 West 9000 South]

THIS IS TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. THE FIRST IS A FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM REGIONAL COMMERCIAL TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. AND THE SECOND IS A REZONE FROM THE PLANNED COMMUNITY TO THE MANUFACTURING M1 ZONE. THIS DID GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS PRESENTED BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 0. SO WE CAN SEE THE LOCATION HERE. IT'S JUST SOUTH OF 90TH, SOUTH AND WEST OF MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR. THIS IS A SITE THAT WE'VE LONG THOUGHT OF AS BEING A GOOD SITE FOR COMMERCIAL. HOWEVER, INABILITY TO GET A FULL ACCESS ONTO 90TH FOR SAFETY CONCERNS FROM UDOT WITH THAT INTERSECTION WITH MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR HAS MADE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT HERE INFEASIBLE. SO THE APPLICANT IS ACTUALLY ASKING FOR THIS TO BE CHANGED TO A MANUFACTURING USE BECAUSE THEY'RE ABLE TO MAKE IT GO WITH A MUCH LESS ACCESS, AND WE'D NEED A COMMERCIAL SITE. SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT IS A CHANGE TO ALLOW THAT. AND THEY HAVE A CONCEPTUAL PLAN IN FOR TWO SMALL BY WAREHOUSE STANDARDS

[00:55:03]

THERE WE GO. AS YOU CAN AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MAP HERE, AND AS TAYLOR MENTIONED, BOTH THE CITY OF WEST JORDAN AND THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER HAVE TRIED RELENTLESSLY TO WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO ACQUIRE AN ACCESS POINT FOR WAY ACCESS POINT AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THIS PROPERTY. THAT REQUEST WAS DENIED OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF WORKING WITH US, I BELIEVE MAYOR BURTON MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN INVOLVED WITH SEVERAL OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS. AND FOR THAT REASON, RETAIL USES WILL NOT WORK AT THIS SITE. AND AS YOU CAN TELL JUST FROM LOOKING AT THE SURROUNDING LAND USE, AS SHOWN IN PURPLE ON THE SCREEN, ARE THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES. THIS USE WILL WILL MERGE IN WITH THE ADJACENT INDUSTRIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES TO THE WEST AND THE SOUTH. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A LARGE TRANSMISSION LINE EASEMENT SHOWN IN GREEN, WHICH FURTHER JUST KIND OF BISECTS THIS PROPERTY FROM THE INTERSECTION THERE AT MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR. I'M GOING TO MOVE OVER TO OUR PLAN HERE. SO AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, WE ARE PLANNING FOR TWO WHAT WE CALL SHALLOW BAY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. WHEN I SAY SHALLOW BAY IN THE KIND OF INDUSTRIAL WORLD, WHAT THIS MEANS IS WE'RE TARGETING SMALLER TENANTS COMPARED TO THE DOLPHIN PROJECT TO OUR WEST. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THE DOLPHIN BUILDINGS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY BIGGER THAN WHAT WE ARE PLANNING TO BUILD HERE. THE INTENT OF THIS IS TO BUILD A BUILDING THAT WILL MEET A TENANT SIZE THAT IS SMALLER THAN WHAT DOLPHIN IS BUILDING NEXT DOOR, AND WHAT A LOT OF BUILDINGS IN WEST JORDAN IN THIS SUBMARKET HAVE BUILT. WE'RE TARGETING MORE LOCAL, MORE REGIONAL TYPE OF USERS INSTEAD OF LIKE NATIONAL AND AT LARGER REGIONAL USERS. A LOT OF THESE USERS WILL BE LIGHT MANUFACTURING, THEY'LL BE HIGH TECH, THEY'LL BE PHARMACEUTICAL.

WE MIGHT EVEN GET SOME SHOWROOM TYPE OF USERS IN THE BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE THERE, AS WELL AS WAREHOUSING, DISTRIBUTION USERS AS WELL. AS OUTLINED IN OUR JUSTIFICATION LETTER. OUR APPLICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PURPOSES, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL REDUCE TRAFFIC COUNTS AS COMPARED TO RETAIL USES, INCREASE THE JOB BASE, TAX BASE AND INVESTMENT IN WEST JORDAN, AND IS AN INFILL DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL NOT REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE OR ANY SINGLE USE UTILITY EXTENSIONS OR ROAD EXTENSIONS. APPLICATION WILL ALSO PROTECT AND FURTHER THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE WEST JORDAN COMMUNITY. CHAPTER 12 OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN STATES THAT 90% OF THE WEST JORDAN WORKFORCE COMMUTES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS TO WORK. THE DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE IMPORTANT JOBS FOR RESIDENTS IN WEST JORDAN. MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL LONG COMMUTE FOR RESIDENTS WORKING IN SALT LAKE AND OTHER AREAS OUTSIDE OF WEST JORDAN. REDUCING THE RESIDENTS COMMUTE WILL GIVE MORE TIME WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND MORE TIME IN THE COMMUNITY, WHILE ALSO REDUCING EMPLOYMENT LEAKAGE, INCREASING THE JOB BASE WITHIN WEST JORDAN AND HAVING GREATER TIME TO SPEND WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WILL ALSO INCREASE SPENDING BY PROVIDING RESIDENTS WITH MORE DISPOSABLE INCOME FOR GROCERIES, GAS, GOODS AND ENTERTAINMENT. AS IT RELATES TO THE PROJECT'S PROPOSED IMPACTS ON AREA INFRASTRUCTURE, THE PROJECT'S LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES GENERALLY HAVE LESS IMPACT ON PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES AS COMPARED TO RETAIL COMMERCIAL USES, DUE TO THE LOWER TRAFFIC COUNTS AND LOWER VISITOR COUNTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT. AND IN CLOSING, OUR FIRM AND I MENTIONED THIS AT THE COMMITTEE

[01:00:04]

EXCUSE ME. AND THEY WILL ALL BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. THERE WILL BE NO ACCESS POINTS ONTO 90TH. OKAY. GREAT. THANKS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I WILL OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS, NOW WOULD BE YOUR CHANCE AGAIN. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. AND IF YOU DO WISH TO SPEAK, WE ASK THAT YOU START WITH YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. IS THERE ANYONE HERE IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? SEEING NONE, MR. ANDERSON, THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK.

WELL, I GUESS WE'VE. WE GOT RID OF MR. MCCONAUGHEY. I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT. HE LIKED ME. SO I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT. WE WILL NOW OPEN THIS UP FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING THIS ORDINANCE? MR. SHELTON? COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, CHAIR.

SO SORRY. YOU NEED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT OR PUBLIC HEARING. YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME MY SIX MONTHS ARE OVER, I WILL HAVE FIGURED ALL THIS OUT. I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. SO YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE. NOW I WILL OPEN FOR THE COUNCIL AND I BELIEVE, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING. THANK YOU. WELL, WE ALL WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO HAVE. REGIONAL COMMERCIAL IN THIS AREA BECAUSE OF THE ACCESS ISSUES. I AM IN FAVOR OF THE REZONE REQUEST, AND I JUST LIKE TO. PUT MY SUPPORT BEHIND IT FOR THE REST OF THE COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. I ECHO COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON'S WORDS THERE. AGAIN, IT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD THAT. BUT WHEREAS WE DON'T CONTROL 90TH SOUTH, SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET EVERYTHING WE WANT THERE. IS THERE ANYONE WHO ELSE WOULD LIKE TO GO ON THIS OR ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A MOTION CHAIR. ALL RIGHT. WILL, YOU JUMPED IN BEFORE I SAID I WILL. NOW SEE IF WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2605, PETITION FROM TITAN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TO REZONE 14.73 ACRES TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. COUNCILMEMBER LAMB, I'LL HAVE TO SAY, IS SECOND MUCH EASIER? YES, IT WORKS OUT WELL. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER LAMB, WHICH PUTS US IN POSITION FOR A VOTE. MISS SLOANE, THANK YOU.

COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCILMEMBER LAMB. YES. CHAIR. YES. VICE CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. THIS

[b. Ordinance No. 26-06 a Petition from Bryan Booth to Rezone 0.8 Acres to R-1-10 Zone (Single-Family Residential - 10,000 square foot lots) Located at 2307 West Joyli Circle]

[01:05:01]

WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR JUST OVER 20 YEARS WHERE WE BUILT OUR HOME. WE HAVE A LARGE AND SKINNY CUL DE SAC LOT, AND WE'VE BUILT OUR HOME ON ONE SIDE AND HAD THE HAS BEEN A WHAT WE REFER TO AS THE SIDE YARD, WHICH WAS GRACIOUS AT HOME AND, AND HAD A LOT OF GRASS OUT THERE AND A GREAT PLACE TO PLAY. ALL OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE MOVED AWAY NOW, AND WE FIND USING MUNICIPAL CULINARY WATER TO KEEP THAT GRASS WATERED IS VERY EXPENSIVE, AND MOWING IS MORE THAN WE REALLY WANT TO DO. SO WE SIMPLY WANT TO REZONE SO THAT WE CAN DIVIDE THE LOT. THEY WILL END UP BEING A HALF ACRE LOT WHERE OUR HOUSES AND A THREE ACRE LOT TO THE EAST, AND WE WILL. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING A NEW PLAT FOR THAT, AND WE WILL THEN PUT THAT ON THE MARKET AND SELL THAT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOME IN THAT LOCATION. I WOULD NOTE THAT THERE'S ANOTHER CIRCLE JUST TO THE NORTH OF US THAT ALREADY HAS FOUR LOTS. OURS ONLY HAS THREE, AND THIS WILL JUST MAKE IT FOUR. THE ZONING WILL BE CHANGED TO THE NEW WELL, THE R1 TEN C, WHICH REQUIRES ONLY 10,000FT■!S OR ABOUT 0.23 ACRES FROM WHAT HAD BEEN A HALF ACRE REQUIREMENT TO THE SOUTH OF US AND TO THE WEST OF US ARE ALREADY ZONED THAT SAME THING. SO IT'LL FIT IN WITH THAT AND IS NOT LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE AN ISLAND OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. SO THAT'S OUR PURPOSE BEHIND THIS, AND WE HOPE THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL OF THAT. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO FIELD THOSE. THANK YOU. MR. BOOTH. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK HAVE HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND TOLD THEM WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND GOT FEEDBACK FROM THEM? I HAVE TALKED TO THE NEIGHBOR DIRECTLY TO THE EAST OF US. ONE THING WE TRIED TO DO FIRST, THEY HAVE A VERY LARGE LOT, AND WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WANTED TO SELL A PORTION OF THAT SO THAT WE COULD HAVE TWO HALF ACRES, AND THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN THAT.

SO I LET THEM KNOW THAT WE'D BE DOING THAT. I'VE SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET IN THE CIRCLE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND THEY ARE FINE WITH THAT AS WELL. AND ANYBODY WHO WILL BE AFFECTED LIKE THIS, WE WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS AS MUCH AS ANYONE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO STAY HERE AND LIVE NEXT TO THIS NEW LOT AND THE PEOPLE THAT MOVE IN HERE. SO I'VE TALKED TO SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS BEHIND THE FENCE TO THE SOUTH OF US, AND SOMEONE IN THE OTHER CIRCLE ALSO. SO WE HAVE TALKED TO THEM ALSO. THE NOTICE WENT OUT TO THE PEOPLE WITH THE WHATEVER THE DISTANCES THAT THEY MAIL THAT OUT. AND THAT'S RAISED A FEW CONVERSATIONS TOO. BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANYBODY THAT HAS SAID THAT THEY ARE OFFICIALLY OPPOSED TO THAT, AND THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TONIGHT AND COMMENT IF THEY ARE. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WELL, THEN WE'LL SEE IF WHAT MR. BOOTH WAS TALKING ABOUT WILL COME TRUE HERE. WE WILL OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. AND ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS AGAIN, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR THREE MINUTES TO DO SO. AND WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU START BY STATING YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. SEEING NO ONE IN THE ROOM JUMPING UP FOR THIS, WE'LL GO OVER TO MR. ANDERSON. HAVE WE INCREASED OUR VIEWERSHIP? NO, WE'RE STILL AT ZERO. AND SO NO ONE HAS DESIRES TO SPEAK. ALRIGHTY. ALL RIGHT THEN. YEP. WE'LL HIT THAT MILLION AT SOME POINT. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE. I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS, AND WE'LL OPEN THIS UP FOR THE COUNCIL TO GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THIS BEFORE WE LOOK TO MAKE A MOTION. DO I HAVE ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? I'M SEEING NONE, SO WITH NO

[01:10:05]

THEN I HAVE A I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM VICE CHAIR WIGNALL AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION TO THIS MOTION? SEEING NONE. WE'LL GO TO A VOTE, MISS SLOANE. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. WIGNALL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. CHAIR. YES. THAT MOTION PASSES SEVEN IN FAVOR. ALL RIGHT.

[c. Resolution No. 26-003 Fee Waiver of up to $7,815 or Less for the Nafanua Foundation for the 2026 Manatua Festival at West Jordan Veterans Memorial Park]

THEY WILL JUMP TO WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10TH. THAT WILL OPEN UP WITH YOUTH CAMP WORKSHOPS DEDICATED TO PASSING PASSING TRADITIONS TO THE NEXT GENERATION. TO FURTHER THESE EFFORTS, OUR YOUTH CAMP WILL HOST CULTURAL WORKSHOPS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HANDS ON EXPERIENCE IN TRADITIONAL SAMOAN ARTS AND HISTORY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. THE NEXT TWO DAYS WILL BE ENTERTAINMENT BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, PUT ON BY THESE EIGHT LOCAL SAMOAN CONGREGATIONS HERE IN WEST JORDAN, AND THEN ALSO AND THEN THE FESTIVAL CULMINATES IN A GRAND PARADE ON SATURDAY TO END OUR FESTIVAL. JUST A MAJESTIC PROCESSION THROUGHOUT THE HEART OF WEST JORDAN AT VETERANS PARK. AS WE GATHER FROM SAMOANS WHO WE'VE NOW IN THE LAST YEAR OF

[01:15:07]

BEFORE WE GO TO QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE GOT SOME I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SEE, I'LL OPEN REAL QUICK TO SEE IF THERE'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS TO SEE IF, IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TOWARD THIS. I'M SEEING NO ONE. MR. ANDERSON. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE? NO. THERE'S NO ONE ONLINE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK. SO I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT SO WE CAN GO STRAIGHT TO THIS. WE'LL OPEN UP TO QUESTIONS THAT THAT MIGHT BE HERE ABOUT THIS COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. OH, I GOT TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST. NOW, MISTER SHELTON, THANK YOU. CHAIR. FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH A HUMBLE AND BEAUTIFUL PETITION. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE ROAD CLOSURE, THE LOOP ROAD THAT GOES AROUND THE PARK. COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT MORE ABOUT THAT? YES.

ORIGINALLY WE WERE GIVEN THE IDEA TO CLOSE THE ROAD FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. WE DO HAVE SECURITY TEAM THAT WE'VE HIRED OUTSIDE. AND ALSO PART OF THIS, THE FEE WAIVER, WAS TO ENLIST THE HELP OF OUR LOCAL POLICE OFFICERS HERE, AS WELL AS A POLICE PRESENCE. WE WILL HAVE VENDORS AND FOOD BOOTHS AND CRAFT BOOTHS THAT WILL BE SET UP AT THE PARK. AND THE BIGGEST PART OF THE ROAD CLOSURE WAS FOR SAFETY. AND WE'VE OUR BEGAN OUR MASS GATHERING PERMIT THAT REQUIRES AT LEAST 500 OR MORE. AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING A LOT MORE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE WANTED TO CLOSE THE READING OF THE PARK, FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR SAFETY, AND THEN ALSO SO THAT OUR SECURITY TEAM CAN HAVE MORE ACCESS AND FEASIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO POLICE THAT AND ENABLE TO AS THOSE WHO COME AND GO. BUT OBVIOUSLY, IN DISCUSSING WITH OUR CITY OFFICIALS AND THOSE OF OUR CONTACTS HERE, WE WERE NOT USING THE ENTIRE VETERANS PARK. WE'RE JUST UTILIZING THE AREA THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE BIG PAVILION AND WHERE THE NEW STAGE IS BEING BUILT. THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE FESTIVAL, WELL, ALL THE FESTIVAL FESTIVITIES WILL TAKE PLACE. AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT WE'LL NEED THAT ANYMORE.

BUT I ALSO, AGAIN, WITH THE SAFETY BEING THE FIRST MEASURE IN OUR OF OUR CONCERNS, I WANTED TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO SEE WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS WERE AS FAR AS CLOSING THE RING ALL TOGETHER, HOW LONG ARE YOU PLANNING TO HAVE IT CLOSED AGAIN? WEDNESDAY. WE HAVE OUR YOUTH CAMP AND WE WOULDN'T IMAGINE TO CLOSE THE RING THAT DAY, SINCE WE'LL JUST BE HAVING THE YOUTH CAMP IN THAT AREA AS I SPOKE BEFORE. SO PROBABLY JUST THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND THEN OF COURSE SATURDAY FOR OUR PARADE BECAUSE WE'LL JUST BE PARADING INSIDE THE RING OF THE PARK. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE GUESTS ARE, HOW MANY GUESTS YOU PLAN ON HAVING, AND WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE ARE YOU PLANNING TO HAVE THEM PARK IN? OUR MEETINGS BEFORE THAT WAS OFFERED TO US AS SOME SUGGESTIONS. THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY THE THIS OUR FESTIVAL WON'T BEGIN ON ON EACH DAY. WE WON'T BEGIN UNTIL AFTER 5 OR 6:00 START TIME. SO IT'S AFTER BUSINESS HOURS. SO WE WERE HOPING WE COULD USE THE PARKING HERE AT CITY HALL AND ALSO THE LIBRARY PARKING AND IF WE NEEDED TO, IF THE ARENA PARKING WAS AVAILABLE FOR THAT TO ACCOMMODATE FOR FOR PARKING. I'M GOING TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND THEN I'LL OPEN UP TO YOU,

[01:20:03]

MOST DEFINITELY. AND I THINK WE THAT WAS ONE THING THAT WE, WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO. PART OF CLOSING OFF THE PARK WAS OBVIOUSLY JUST FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BLOCK IT OFF FROM THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND THE EVENT. IT'S OPEN TO ANY AND EVERYONE, SO WE KNOW THAT FOOT TRAFFIC WILL STILL COME AS FAR AS THE PLAYGROUND AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL SEE THE FESTIVAL AND SPARK SOME INTEREST TO COME AND JOIN US. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SAFETY HAS ALWAYS JUST BEEN OUR OUR FIRST MEASURE IN OUR PLANNING. BUT WE DEFINITELY DON'T NEED THE ENTIRE PARK BEING CLOSED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE UTILIZING THE ENTIRE PARK FOR THE FESTIVAL. OKAY, SO I THINK THERE'S SOME ELEMENTS THERE THAT WE'LL NEED TO ADDRESS. I'LL GO OVER TO COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT SOME SIMILAR QUESTIONS THAT I DO. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FANTASTIC EVENT FOR OUR CITY. MY CONCERN IS I DON'T THINK THIS APPLICATION IS REALLY READY BECAUSE WHEN I READ IT. IT ASKED FOR FOUR DAYS OF THE PARK TO HAVE THE RING ROAD CLOSED. AND NOW I'M HEARING THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT WE NEED. AND I ALSO AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN I READ FOUR DAYS ASK, BUT ONLY EIGHT HOURS FOR POLICE AND 15 FOR AMBULANCE, WHICH IS PARAMEDICS.

RIGHT. AND ONE THING I WILL SAY, I'M SORRY TO CUT YOU OFF. I'VE NOTICED NOW THAT IT'S EIGHT, IT'S ACTUALLY 16 HOURS OF POLICE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY THAT IT'S TWO TIMES THE EIGHT.

I HAD TO LOOK AT THAT AGAIN. AND SO IT WOULD BE THEN 30 HOURS OF THAT. SO IT'S STILL OFF. BUT I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO I JUST FEEL LIKE MAYBE WE'RE NOT READY. I'M NOT READY TO GIVE YOU A YES BECAUSE I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS APPLICATION. I THINK THAT MAYBE WE COULD OUR STAFF COULD MAYBE HELP YOU. I THINK THE MAYOR HAS AGREED. AND I'M GETTING A LITTLE HEAD NOD THAT THAT MAYBE WE COULD REFINE IT. SO BECAUSE I WANT TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CITY'S HELP THAT YOU NEED FOR THIS EVENT, I WANT TO I LIE LIKE YOU. I'M WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AND WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE MAKE IT SAFE, BUT ALSO WE DON'T SHUT OFF THE ROAD THAT ALLOWS PARKING, THAT ALLOWS ACCESS, THAT ALLOWS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TO COME AND ENJOY YOUR EVENT. SO WOULD IT BE OKAY WITH YOU IF INSTEAD OF GIVING YOU A YES VOTE, MAYBE WE TABLE THIS AND ALLOW STAFF TIME TO WORK WITH YOU BECAUSE YOUR EVENT IS NOT TILL JUNE? AND SO WE HAVE A FEW MONTHS THAT YOU KNOW, AND, AND I'M SURE THAT OUR GOOD CHAIRMAN WOULD LET IT COME BACK PRETTY QUICKLY BECAUSE IF WE GET IT ALL HAMMERED OUT, IT WON'T TAKE LONG. DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERN WITH THAT? IF I MOTION TO TABLE, I DO NOT.

LET'S INSTEAD OF TABLE LET'S LOOK TO CONTINUE INSTEAD OF OKAY INSTEAD OF TABLING. JUST TO ECHO WHAT COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK SAID, THIS IS NOT A THING WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO SAY NO TO YOU. WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT ALL THE RIGHT THINGS WE SAY YES TO BECAUSE IN THE END, WHAT WE SAY YES TO MATTERS AND THE THE WAIVER MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST ISSUE. IT'S MAKING SURE WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT. LOOKING AT THIS, TO FOLLOW UP ON A QUESTION, WHEN I BROUGHT UP THE THING ABOUT THE POLICE OFFICERS, THAT'S EIGHT HOURS AND IT'S TWO OF THEM, SO IT'S 16 HOURS. ARE YOU LOOKING AT IS THAT JUST ONE DAY THAT YOU'LL HAVE EIGHT HOURS THAT THEY'LL BE THERE FOR EIGHT DAYS OR OR HOW ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU SPREADING OUT THE HOURS OF THIS POLICE USAGE? WE WOULDN'T NEED NECESSARILY POLICE PRESENCE UNTIL THE EVENING FESTIVITIES, WHICH IS 6 TO 10 ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WE'RE NOT TO CONCERNED ABOUT WEDNESDAY'S YOUTH CAMP, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE PARADE, AND THAT'S WHY WE WANTED IT INSIDE THE PARK AND NOT ON ANY PUBLIC ROAD. SO IT'S MORE CONTROLLABLE AS FAR AS THE CROWD AND SAFETY MEASURES FOR THE ACTUAL PARADE. AND I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT AS A COUNCIL, WE NEED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, HOW OUR SERVICES ARE BEING USED AND HOW IT'S COMING IN. SO I THINK THAT IS KIND OF THE IDEA FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF THIS. AGAIN, JUST SOMETHING WHERE THE STAFF CAN HELP PUT THINGS IN ORDER SO THAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE COUNCIL, WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE SAYING YES TO BECAUSE WE VERY MUCH LOVE THE IDEA OF THIS BEING IN OUR CITY AND OUR JUST ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR SEEING THE CULTURES AND AND DIVERSITY OF THINGS. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE SAYING YES TO THE RIGHT THINGS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MOST DEFINITELY. THANK

[01:25:01]

I SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE YOU'VE GOT YOUR THOUGHTS AS WELL. AND LET'S, LET'S TALK IT THROUGH A LITTLE BIT. SPEAKING OF THAT, WE WILL GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. I AGREE WE NEED TO GIVE STAFF TIME TO WORK THROUGH THIS. I, I IN TALKING WITH THE MAYOR AND GETTING MY QUESTIONS TO HIM, I FEEL LIKE STAFF NEEDS MORE TIME TO WORK ON THIS FEE WAIVER AND ENSURE THAT WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT HELP FOR THIS COMMUNITY BEFORE WE HAVE THE EVENT. AND I, I WOULD HATE TO SAY YES TO THIS FEE WAIVER AND IT HAD NOT BE WHAT THEY REALLY NEED ULTIMATELY.

AND IT'S A NEW EVENT. AND SO I THINK A LITTLE MORE TIME IS PRUDENT TO GIVE BOTH STAFF AND THE APPLICANT TIME TO ENSURE THAT THEY'VE GOT WHAT THEY REALLY NEED. OKAY.

COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, SO IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ADEQUATE CITY RESOURCES ARE BEING BEING ALLOCATED, WHICH DO HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT ALLOCATED TO THOSE CITY RESOURCES SO THAT WE CAN APPROVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT, BECAUSE I CAN GET ON BOARD WITH THAT. THANK YOU. AS A POSSIBILITY, IT MAY BE DEEMED THAT THEY NEED MORE. AND IF WE ONLY APPROVE 7815 AND THEY NEED MORE THAN WE'RE WE'VE MESSED UP. SO I THINK THAT IS THE JUST AS OF THIS. SO I WILL THEN SEE IF THERE IS A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS RESOLUTION. 26 003.

COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK I WILL MOVE TO CONTINUE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-003, ALLOWING STAFF TIME TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT AND TO BRING IT BACK WHEN STAFF FEELS IT'S READY. WHAT DO YOU WANT? COUNCILMEMBER? COUNCIL DIRECTOR ANDERSON, JUST FOR CLARITY, DO YOU WANT IT TO COME BACK AS A BUSINESS ITEM? DO YOU WANT TO REDO? READ AS WE'VE HELD THE PUBLIC HEARING, I'M COMFORTABLE HAVING IT COME BACK AS A BUSINESS ITEM. OKAY. SO THAT'S PART OF THE MOTION, I WOULD IMAGINE. OKAY, OKAY. AND TO BRING IT BACK AS A BUSINESS ITEM. I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

ALL RIGHT. I DO HAVE A MOTION TO CONTINUE FROM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SAY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THIS CORRECT.

AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE SAYING. YOU MAY NEED MORE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE COVERED IF NEED BE. I WILL OPEN THIS UP TO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. IF ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER HAS ANYTHING TO SAY BEFORE WE VOTE. SEEING NONE, WE WILL GO TO MR. SLOAN FOR A VOTE ON THIS CONTINUANCE. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. YES.

VICE CHAIR. WAGNER. YES. COUNCILMEMBER. LAMB. YES. CHAIR. YES. COUNCILMEMBER. SHELTON.

YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. THAT MOTION PASSES SEVEN IN FAVOR. THANK YOU. WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING TO YOU AGAIN SOON. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. COUNCIL CHAIR, MAY I SAY SOMETHING? YES. SORRY. I WANT TO JUST MAKE A COMMENT ON WHY THAT CAME TO YOU EARLY. I'M LEARNING. WE'RE GROWING. WE'RE FIGURING STUFF OUT. THE THE MONITOR FESTIVAL, THE PLANS FOR IT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT IN FLUX. WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A CHICKEN AND EGG DILEMMA ON THEIR PLANNING WITH THE FEE WAIVER, AND WE CAME EARLY ON THE FEE WAIVER REQUEST BEFORE THE PLANS WERE TOTALLY DONE. BECAUSE PART OF THEIR PLANNING WAS CONTINGENT ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD GET THE FEES WAIVED. GLORY WORKED WITH THEM TO COME VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS, SO IT WASN'T A LAST MINUTE REQUEST. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE LEARNING IS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO COME WITH A TIGHTER PLAN, EXACT FEES RATHER THAN AN UP TO AMOUNT ON A WORST CASE SCENARIO. SO I APOLOGIZE TO YOU AS A COUNCIL, WE'LL WORK ON TIGHTENING UP THOSE PLANS.

GLORY'S BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE NAFANUA FOUNDATION, AND WE'LL BRING YOU AN EXACT PLAN AND A TIGHTER FEE WAIVER REQUEST. IT MAY MEAN THOSE PLANS COME CLOSER TO THE

[01:30:05]

SO CLOSE TO VALENTINE'S DAY IS CHRISTMAS TREES. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ORDINANCE NUMBER 2607.

[a. Ordinance No. 26-07 Proposed Amendments to West Jordan City Code – Title 4, Chapter 2, Article C (Christmas Tree Sales)]

BUT OKAY, I'M GOOD WITH THIS. I, I AND I'M, I'M HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS IF ANYBODY'S LISTENING. THE CITY OF WEST JORDAN DOES NOT HATE CHRISTMAS TREES. WE'RE WE'RE WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH. WE WANT THEM SOLD FREELY. YEAH. YEAR ROUND CHRISTMAS TREE SALES. COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY CHRISTMAS TREE LOTS WE HAVE ON AVERAGE EACH CHRISTMAS? HERE'S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU. WHEN I ASKED BUSINESS LICENSING HOW MANY OF THESE SPECIAL LICENSES THEY HAD ISSUED, THE ANSWER IS I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER ISSUED ANY. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY HAD EVER REALLY APPLIED FOR ANY OF THESE. BUT IF YOU'RE ASKING HOW MANY SPOTS SELL CHRISTMAS TREES, LIVE CHRISTMAS TREES IN THE CITY, THAT'S ALSO HARD TO TRACK BECAUSE IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TRACKED OUTSIDE OF OF THESE LICENSES, THESE SPECIAL LICENSES, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY A DOZEN. OKAY. I THINK MOST, MOST SMITH'S WILL SELL THEM. THE HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES WILL SELL THEM. AND I THINK BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, THE GROCERY STORE SMITH'S ON 90TH. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. I'M JUST WONDERING IF THIS WILL OPEN UP A FREE FOR ALL AND WE'LL SEE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF CHRISTMAS TREE LOTS NEXT YEAR. DO YOU KNOW. AND AND ACTUALLY WHAT'S WHAT'S INTERESTING IS, IS SOME OF THE NURSERIES AND GARDEN CENTERS WILL WILL DEFINITELY DO IT AS WELL. SO WE I MEAN WE'RE NOT ADVERTISING. WE'RE OPENING BRING YOUR TREES. BUT I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. CHRISTMAS TOWN USA IS I MEAN, THIS TRULY IS A WAY OF TO STOP THE LAWLESSNESS. WE GOT RID OF THE LAW. YEAH, YEAH. IF IF NOTHING'S ILLEGAL, THEN. YEAH. DO I HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT THEN, IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THIS.

LET'S SEE WHO RAISES TO THE BUTTON. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON, IN HONOR OF PAST COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN, I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2607. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO WEST JORDAN CITY CODE TITLE FOUR, CHAPTER TWO, ARTICLE C CHRISTMAS TREE SALES STRIKING ALL OF THE VERBIAGE. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. AND SINCE YOU INCLUDED COUNCIL MEMBER PAST COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN, I WILL. SECOND, I ACTUALLY HAVE MENTIONED KELVIN ON HERE, SO I WILL SECOND RESOUNDINGLY. WE LOVE YOUR RED LINES PATRICK. THANK YOU THEN. THAT IS GREAT.

I DO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN WHITELOCK. ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS BEFORE WE GO TO VOTE? PERFECT THEN, MISS LUM, WE WILL GO TO VOTE. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER LAM. YES, CHAIR. BADOR. YES. I'M SORRY. COUNCIL MEMBER.

JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. VICE CHAIR. WAGNER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.

[01:35:06]

THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. AND IF YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THE RED PEN, I WILL PRESENT

[b. Ordinance No. 26-08 Proposed Amendments to West Jordan City Code – Title 4, Chapter 2, Article G (Arcades)]

SAME SITUATION HERE. THIS IS A SPECIAL BUSINESS ING SPECIAL BUSINESS LICENSING REGULATION THAT HAD BEEN ON OUR CODE, WHERE EACH INDIVIDUAL ARCADE MACHINE REQUIRED ITS OWN SEPARATE LICENSE AND FEE. THE COUNCIL DISCUSSED THIS AT A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AND DECIDED TO REMOVE ALL THESE RESTRICTIONS AS WELL. WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THE MACHINES POP UP IN GROCERY STORES AND JUST OTHER RETAIL AND SOMETIMES EVEN RESTAURANTS. AND SO THE DISCUSSION WAS TO REMOVE THESE RESTRICTIONS ALTOGETHER AND NOT REQUIRE LICENSING OUTSIDE OF JUST A SPECIAL BUSINESS LICENSE OR A GENERAL BUSINESS LICENSE. SO THIS ONE HAS BEEN EQUALLY DELINEATED. SO ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. QUESTION ON. CAN YOU GO BACK? ONE PAGE SAYS YOU WE'VE STRICKEN THE GAMBLING PROHIBITED CLAUSE ON STARTING ON LINE 40. THAT'S OKAY. RIGHT. TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE STATE CODE ALREADY PROHIBITS IT. YEAH.

GAMBLING IS RESTRICTED BY THE STATE OF UTAH. I THINK. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MACHINES THAT ARE GOING TO POP UP THAT AREN'T GOING TO RUN AFOUL OF, OF THOSE STATE REGULATIONS. SO I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERN ON IT. OBVIOUSLY, IF WE SEE AN ISSUE THEN THEN WE CAN BRING SOMETHING UP TO THE COUNCIL, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT. IT'S A GOOD CATCH. COUNCILMEMBER LAMB, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, ARCADE GAMES ARE LEGALIZED GAMBLING.

SO SO I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ARCADE GAMES WE HAVE? NO. JUST KIDDING.

NO, BUT I KNOW THAT I AM AWFUL AT THE CLAW MACHINE. SO IF SLOTS CRAPS AND AND CLAW MACHINE, I'M. IT'S A LOSING VENTURE FOR ME. MACHINE LEGALIZED GAMBLING. YEAH. I MEAN, IT MUST BE. I'M ALWAYS A LOSER, SO. MY MY CHILDREN WILL VERY MUCH SAY THAT THOSE POKEMON CARD MACHINES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE GAMBLE OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE EVEN GOING TO BE ANYTHING WORTH SELLING THERE. ALL RIGHT, SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. LET'S GET RID OF THIS CODE. WHO'S WITH ME? THIS IS NOT BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE. I MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2608. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO WEST JORDAN CITY CODE TITLE FOUR, CHAPTER TWO, ARTICLE G. COUNCIL VICE CHAIR I SECOND. ALL RIGHT THEN, I DO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON AND SECONDED FROM VICE CHAIR ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS OR OUTBURSTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. SEEING NONE WILL GO TO VOTE. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. VICE CHAIR. YES. CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES.

ALTHOUGH CALLING THEM AMENDMENTS WHEN YOU REALLY STRIKING THINGS OUT IS KIND OF THE WRONG. IT'S THE ULTIMATE AMENDMENT. WE'RE RESERVING THE SECTION IN CASE THERE'S ANOTHER.

BUT YES. THANK YOU. THE MOTION PASSES SEVEN IN FAVOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT, MR.

[c. Ordinance No. 26-11 Proposed Amendments to West Jordan City Code Title 7, Chapters 3 and 4 – Truck Parking]

TRUCK PARKING. THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF A DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD RECENTLY IN THE COMMITTEE. THE WHOLE THERE WERE SOME CHANGES THAT FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN HAD SUGGESTED. I TOOK SOME OF THOSE AND INCORPORATED THEM INTO THIS MOST RECENT DRAFT. A LOT OF THE

[01:40:01]

I PUT IN HERE A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL ONES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY ENGINEER. PARKING OF 45FT FROM AN INTERSECTION, 15FT FROM A FIRE HYDRANT, 20FT FROM A CROSSWALK. THESE ARE A LITTLE BIT REDUNDANT. WE'VE GOT THEM ELSEWHERE IN THE CODE. BUT AFTER DISCUSSION KIND OF WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THIS WAS A NOT A BAD IDEA TO TO REPEAT IT HERE. THAT WAY, WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES RUN INTO DRIVERS OF THESE TRUCKS AND THEY SAY, BLESS YOU, THEY SAY WE'RE, YOU KNOW, SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS THAT I CAN'T PARK MY TRUCK HERE. IT JUST GIVES ONE CITATION TO THE CODE. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BOUNCE BETWEEN 3 OR 4. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE AN EASY, PRACTICAL WAY OF HELPING OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT REFERENCE THE APPLICABLE SECTION. SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S IN THERE AND HAS BEEN ADDED.

BUT LIKE THAT'S REALLY THE BIG CHANGE THERE FOR SEVEN, THREE, SEVEN, FOUR IS A MUCH BROADER REVISION. THE DEFINITIONS SECTION IS ALREADY CALLED FOR EARLIER IN THIS TITLE. SO THIS WAS A COMPLETE REDUNDANCY. WE DON'T NEED IT. WE'RE JUST REFERENCING STATE CODE ANYWAYS.

SO WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT JUST TRIMMING DOWN A LOT OF THIS. THE TRUCK ROUTES AS YOU NOTE, ARE GOING TO BE FOUND IN THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN. SO THAT'S JUST AN EASIER WAY TO REFERENCE THOSE WITHOUT HAVING IT CLOG UP OUR CODE. IT ALSO MAKES SURE THAT IF WE LISTED IN THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN AND WE DON'T LIST IT IN THE CODE, IT REDUCES THE CHANCE OF ERROR. I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CHANGES, BUT I THINK THAT A LOT OF THE CHANGES THROUGH THESE REST OF THESE OTHER PARTS ARE A LOT OF LANGUAGE CLEANUP. TRYING TO MAKE IT READ MORE SIMPLE AND JUST CLEAR FOR FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. SO GREAT. WELL, THEN WE WILL. SORRY, MR. CHAIR, CAN I CAN I MAKE ONE MORE CLARIFICATION? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PARKING OF TRUCKS. AND AND I THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE EASY TO SAY, WELL, WHAT ABOUT PICKUP TRUCKS? AND UNDER THE STATE DEFINITION, PICKUP TRUCKS ARE NOT A TRUCK. IT'S A IT'S A VEHICLE. IT'S A PASSENGER VEHICLE. UNDER THE STATE DEFINITION, TRUCKS ARE ESSENTIALLY SEMI TRUCK TRAILERS THAT ARE PULLING LARGE LOADS OR THEY'RE BOX TRUCKS, THESE TYPES OF THINGS. SO ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT I DON'T KNOW IF ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAD A QUESTION ON THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REFERENCING. WELL, WE DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK. SO MINE ISN'T REALLY A QUESTION. AND IT'S REALLY A A IDEA FOR THE MAYOR, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS READING THIS, I SAID, OH, INTERESTING. IT'S UNLAWFUL FOR ME TO TAKE THAT STUFF OVER TO PUBLIC WORKS ON DUMPSTERS DAY UNLESS I COVER IT. SO MAYBE WHEN WE ADVERTISE DUMPSTER DAYS, WE COULD ALSO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC BECAUSE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF THOSE GUYS PULLED ME OVER AND TOLD ME I WAS BREAKING THE LAW, BRINGING MY GARBAGE TO PUBLIC WORKS. THE PEOPLE COME AND HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD AND HAD THEIR LOADS COVERED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY PUT ON A WAGON AND WALKED OVER WITH IT.

BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO ENFORCE THAT. WELL, I KNOW MY LAST LOAD CAME IN THE BACK OF MY MINIVAN, BUT THE LOAD BEFORE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNCOVERED IN THE TRUCK. SO JUST MAYBE EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE. THANK YOU. I'LL START WITH YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB, IF IT WAS A PICKUP TRUCK, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT A TRUCK. ACCORDING TO THE. YEAH, SO? SO YOU'RE GOOD. JUST A QUICK THING ON THE ON SEVEN THROUGH 12. YOU'VE GOT A SCRIBNER ERROR.

YOU NEED AN IT PERSON MAY NOT PARK A TRUCK PUBLIC UNLESS IT IS ALL THESE THINGS. SO YOU HAVE UNLESS IS AND YOU'RE MISSING A PRONOUN. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT IN THERE.

YOU NEED IT. AND I WAS JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK, MAKE SURE I WAS UNDERSTANDING THIS CLEARLY AS LONG AS ANY ONE OF THESE A ONE THROUGH FOURS ARE MET, THE TRUCK IS LEGALLY PARKED RIGHT. YEAH, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S THE WAY I READ IT. SO AS LONG AS YOU ARE

[01:45:01]

SO WE NEED IT AND WE NEED TO CHANGE THE ORDERS TO AND. YES. SO IF ALL THOSE CONDITIONS ARE MET THEN YOU'RE LEGALLY PARKED. YES. OKAY. THANKS. THAT WAS A GREAT CATCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR POINTING OUT OF ERRORS. YEAH. SOMEONE NEEDS TO. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THIS I BELIEVE. THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'LL NEED TO MAKE A QUICK AMENDMENT TO THIS, BUT I WILL OPEN UP TO SEE IF THERE IS A MOTION. YEP, WE'LL OPEN THAT TO YOU, MR. COUNCIL, BUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION. SURE. SO THE REST OF YOU ALL CAN VOTE. YES.

I MOVE TO OVERRIDE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S QUITE WHAT I MEAN TO SAY. I MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2611, THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO WEST JORDAN CITY CODE, CHANGING ALL OF THE ORDERS IN SECTION 312 A TO ANDS AND ADDING WORD IT AFTER UNLESS. ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO I HAVE A SECOND VICE CHAIR? WIDNALL I SECOND, AND THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. MY POLICY WRITING BRAIN WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND I DIDN'T KNOW WE COULD BRING THAT UP HERE. SO LESSON LEARNED TODAY. THANK YOU. OKAY THEN I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE AMENDMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB AND A SECOND FROM VICE CHAIR. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? SEEING NONE, WE WILL GO TO MISS SLOAN FOR A VOTE.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. YES, VICE CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES.

CHAIR. BADOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. THE MOTION PASSES. SEVEN IN FAVOR. OH, GREAT. AND WITH THAT, I BELIEVE WE'RE DONE WITH YOU. MR. BOYCE, CAN I MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT ON THIS ONE JUST BEFORE WE KIND OF TAKE IT OFF THE TABLE? YES. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO NEED TO REDO THIS BECAUSE THIS THIS SAYS THAT YOU CANNOT IF WE CHANGE ALL THE ORDERS TO ANDS, WHICH WE JUST DID ON THE FLY, THEN YOU HAVE TO BE UNLOADING OR LOADING THE VEHICLE. ANYTIME YOU PARK A TRUCK, THAT IS ONE THAT HAS TO BE NOW MET AS LONG WITH BEING MORE THAN 45FT FROM AN INTERSECTION, ETC. ETC. YEAH, I THINK, I THINK WHAT HAPPENED INITIALLY WAS THAT THERE WAS THE. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEGISLATIVE VERSION AND I YEAH, I REGRET I DIDN'T SEE THIS. SO THE THE TWO I DON'T KNOW. CAN WE PULL THAT BACK UP. SEVEN 312 THERE YOU GO. SO THE BOTTOM ONES THREE AND FOUR, THOSE WERE THOSE WERE INITIALLY SUGGESTIONS OF THE CITY ENGINEER TO ADD THOSE IN HERE FOR FOR SIMPLIFICATION. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST THE THE TOP TWO. RIGHT. SO ONE AND TWO.

AND THAT THAT WOULD BE A PRETTY SIMPLE OR RIGHT. LIKE LIKE YOU'RE, YOU'VE GOT TO BE LOADING OR UNLOADING OR IF YOU'RE NOT LOADING OR UNLOADING, YOU'VE GOT TO BE A CERTAIN DISTANCE AWAY. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD OR TO HAVE IN THERE. I THINK WHERE WE RAN INTO THE TROUBLE THERE IS THAT WE STARTED ADDING THESE, THESE OTHER ONES FOR CLARIFICATION, BUT IT IT IS MAKING IT A BIT MORE COMPLEX WITH, WITH HOW WE'RE WORDING IT. CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION? I MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT TWO BE A THREE PART NUMBER 22A TO B AND TWO C WITH ANDS.

YEAH. AND THEN AN OR AFTER NUMBER ONE. THAT'D BE. THAT'D BE PERFECTLY FINE. YEAH. SO PROCEDURALLY, SINCE WE JUST PASSED THIS AS POORLY WRITTEN AS IT WAS, I WAS POORLY AMENDED, WRITTEN AND AMENDED. I TAKE I TAKE FULL CREDIT FOR ALSO BEING POORLY WRITTEN. THIS IS WHY WE

[01:50:04]

YEP. OKAY. AND THEN WE CAN. SO I WILL MOVE TO RECONSIDER WHATEVER ORDINANCE WE JUST PASSED. 2611. I WILL SECOND THAT. AND THEN WE NEED TO VOTE ON RECONSIDERING. THE ROLL CALL VOTE. YEP. ALRIGHT. COULD WOULD YOU MIND JUST AS I'M THINKING ABOUT RECONSIDERING.

RECONSIDERING KIND OF BRINGS IT BACK TO THE TABLE. SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD ADD A DATE OR DO YOU WANT TO RECONSIDER IT RIGHT NOW? OH, OKAY. THEN YOU'RE THEN YOU'RE JUST FINE. ALL RIGHT THEN WE WILL VOTE ON RECONSIDERING THIS RIGHT NOW. CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. NO.

[d. Ordinance No. 26-04 Amendments to Parking Lot Materials, Drainage Standards, and Related Definitions in West Jordan City Code Title 13]

DASH OH FOUR AMENDMENTS TO PARKING LOT MATERIALS, DRAINAGE STANDARDS AND RELATED DEFINITIONS IN WEST JORDAN CITY CODE TITLE 13. AND WITH THAT, WE'VE GOT OUR OWN MISTER LARRY GARDNER. THANK YOU, CHAIR, FOR THE BENEFIT OF COUNCIL PERSON HARRIS. THIS CAME TO THE COUNCIL IN DECEMBER AS AN ORDINANCE REQUEST AMENDMENT. AND WHAT THE THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST IS TO CLARIFY PARKING LOT MATERIALS AND ALL ZONES. WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH REQUIRING, WELL, WHERE LARGE, EXPANSIVE INDUSTRIAL PARKING LOTS HAVE

[01:55:09]

AND SO IT CAN BE A BURDEN UPON THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE BUSINESS USER. AND THERE ALSO WAS A CONCERN LAST MEETING ABOUT A SCREENING REQUIREMENT IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE. AND THAT WAS 1312 5E3. THAT WAS VERY CONFUSING AND MOSTLY UNENFORCEABLE. AND SO STAFF HAS MADE THE DECISION TO PROPOSE REMOVAL OF THAT SECTION FROM THE ORDINANCE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF ME? DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. GARDNER? COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK MY QUESTION, LARRY, AND MAYBE IT CAN'T GO HERE, BUT WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS IS OUR MULTIFAMILY HOUSING COMPLEXES AND THAT THEY'RE CHARGING FOR PARKING. IS THERE SOMEWHERE IN HERE THAT WE CAN SAY THAT WHEN IT'S A REQUIRED PARKING? SO BASICALLY I THINK IT SAID ONE AND A HALF STALLS FOR A ONE BEDROOM AND TWO AND A HALF FOR A TWO BEDROOM. AND IS THERE SOMEWHERE IN CODE THAT WE CAN ADD THAT, THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THAT ONE STALL AND THEY CAN'T CHARGE FOR IT? YES. AND WE'VE. TO THROW OUR ATTORNEYS UNDER THE BUS. WE'VE RUN THAT UNDER THE LEGAL FLAGPOLE. AND I DON'T RECALL WHAT THE DECISION WHY WE DID NOT CHOOSE TO ENFORCE PARKING WITH. REMEMBER THE ONE WHERE WE WERE GOING TO PUT AN ORDINANCE IN ABOUT NOT CHARGING FOR MULTIFAMILY PARKING. SO GOOD. I THINK FOR NOW, THE WAY WE'RE DEALING WITH IT IS IN ALL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS. WE INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT DEAL WITH IT THERE. IT'S A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH DEVELOPMENT THAT'S ALREADY OCCURRED, BUT AT LEAST FOR THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, WE'VE BEEN ADDING SPECIAL SECTION IN EACH AGREEMENT THAT DEALS WITH THAT ISSUE. OKAY. IT JUST IT IT JUST SEEMS SO WRONG THAT WE REQUIRE THEM TO PUT IT IN AND THEN THEY CHARGE RENT. PLUS THE PARKING STALL BECOMES PART OF THEIR RENT. AND YOU KNOW, AND I DIDN'T MEAN TO THROW OUR LEGAL TEAM UNDER THE BUS, BUT WE HAVE DISCUSSED IT. BUT THERE WAS A REASON I KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY THAT DID THAT, AND I THINK THEY WERE ACTUALLY TAKEN TO COURT OVER IT BY. YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW LANDLORDS HAVE A LOT OF RIGHTS IN UTAH. AND SO ANYWAY, COUNCIL MEMBER MR. CHANDLER, SURE. JUST AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE ADDRESSED THAT IN THE GOOD LANDLORD AGREEMENT. WE DIDN'T CODIFY IT AS PART OF THE GOOD LANDLORD PROGRAM, BUT IT IS A PROVISION IN THE AGREEMENT. I WILL CONFIRM THAT, THOUGH, AND FOLLOW UP WITH YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. I, I WAS GOING TO ASK, IS THIS PART OF THE GOOD LANDLORD? AND IF IF NOT, WE NEED TO WE NEED TO DO THAT BECAUSE. IT'S BURDENING CITY STREETS. IT'S BURDENING RESIDENTS WHO LIVE AROUND THESE DEVELOPMENTS, THESE APARTMENT BUILDINGS SPECIFICALLY. AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO ADDRESSING THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE THIS ONE, I PROMISE. LARRY'S GOING TO BE SMILING ANY MINUTE NOW. OKAY. MAYBE NOT ON THE ON THE PAGE

[02:00:08]

WE'LL SEE IF I FIND ANYTHING ELSE. YOUR TIME WILL BE RUNNING OUT SOON, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, ONE QUESTION ABOUT. GROUNDWATER OVERLAY. IS THAT WHAT IT'S CALLED? GROUNDWATER DRINKING WATER SOURCE PROTECTION OVERLAY? COULD YOU ADDRESS WHERE THAT IS? I MISSED IT, IT'S LARGELY IN WESTERN CITY IN OUR INDUSTRIAL AREA, MOSTLY AROUND IS IT STAYS WHERE IT IS IN THE CODE. WHERE DOES IT OCCUR, WHERE IS IT IN THE CODE. AND IS THERE OR YOU MADE ANY CHANGES TO IT. IT'S NO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT IN THIS. IT'S IT'S A SEPARATE ORDINANCE OVERLAY ZONE THAT PROTECTS OUR DRINKING WATER SOURCE OVERLAY. SO I JUST I KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE A NON-PERMEABLE SURFACE. AND IN THOSE LARGE INDUSTRIAL LOTS, I MEAN, WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE THEM MONEY. AND IF THEY HAVE TO OVERLAY TEN ACRES IN ASPHALT BECAUSE THEY'RE PARKING TRUCKS ON A VERY LARGE LOT, I, I GUESS THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP THOSE USERS IF IT'S IN A DRINKING WATER SOURCE PROTECTION OVERLAY, THEN NOT ONLY IS THE CITY OBLIGATED TO PROTECT THE DRINKING WATER, BUT WE ARE ALSO UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF THE STATE OF UTAH BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT WELLS CONTAMINATED WITH OILS, FLUIDS AND THAT TYPE OF THING. SO THEY THEY CAN'T JUST PUT A PAN UNDER THE TRUCK AND CALL IT GOOD. OKAY. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS? I SEE NONE I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. OKAY. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 26, DASH ZERO FOUR AMENDMENTS TO THE PARKING LOT. MATERIALS, DRAINAGE STANDARDS AND RELATED DEFINITIONS. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER WIGNALL. SECOND. SO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK AND A SECOND FROM VICE CHAIR. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS BEFORE WE VOTE? SEEING NONE, WE WILL GO TO MISS SLOAN FOR A VOTE. VICE CHAIR WIDNALL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. CHAIR. BADER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. THAT MOTION PASSES 6 TO 1 WITH THE NO. FROM COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND THAT WILL FINISH UP OUR BUSINESS ITEMS. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO

[a. Council Office Report]

AND IT WAS MENTIONED DURING EMPLOYEE RETENTION THAT OUR OFFICE TWICE NOW HAS HIT 67%

[02:05:04]

SO IT'S HIS FAULT. WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO GET DINGED AGAIN AT THE NEXT BUDGET MEETING WITH THE 67%. POLICE. POLICE ARE ABOVE 90, FIRES ABOVE 90, AND THE COUNCIL OFFICES AT 67. TWICE NOW IN SIX YEARS SHOULD BE AT. OH YEAH, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO MAYBE MAYBE COUNCIL CAN TAKE SOME FROM HIS BUDGET. BUT. SO FRIDAY WILL BE WARREN'S LAST DAY. THE JOB I'M I'M REVAMPING IT A LITTLE BIT WITH HR. SHOULD BE HOPEFULLY POSTED LATER THIS WEEK. WE WILL. WE'LL HAVE THE POSITION OPEN FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. WE'LL DO INTERVIEWS. SO IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE SIX WEEKS OR SO BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER POLICY ANALYST THAT'LL BE HERE. THE PANEL THAT WILL HELP WHEN WE GET TO THE INTERVIEWS WILL CONSIST. AND I HAVEN'T ASKED JOSH THIS, BUT HE'S DONE IT THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES. IT'LL BE JOSH CHANDLER AND DENISE STACK AND SCOTT LANGFORD AND MURRAY MAJORS WITH COMMUNICATIONS AND MYSELF, AND WE'LL INTERVIEW THE CANDIDATES WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THE THING WHEN WHEN. JOSH NOW I WILL SAY THE FIRST POLICY ANALYST LEFT THE CITY AND WORKS FOR ANOTHER ORGANIZATION. WARREN IS JUST MOVING TWO DOORS DOWN. SO HE'LL HE'LL STILL BE HERE AT THE CITY. BUT WHEN JOSH WAS JOSH CHANDLER WAS EXPLAINING THE POSITION AND HE ASKED IF I NEEDED ANYTHING. I SAID, THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE. NUMBER ONE, I WOULD LIKE HIM TO ASSIST. PREPPING FOR THE MARCH 24TH.

CINDY'S ON VACATION THIS WEEK. AND SO WE'RE WE'RE KIND OF TIGHT RIGHT NOW STAFF WISE. SO I'VE JUST ASKED FOR HIS HELP TO PREPARE FOR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. MARCH WILL BE MISS QUICK AND MYSELF. AND THEN I'VE ASKED HIM TO FINISH OUT THE REST OF THE YOUTH COUNCIL. SO THAT WOULD BE FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE YOUTH COUNCIL REPORT TO YOU AND HE'LL BE INVOLVED WITH THAT. AND MR. CHANDLER SAID THAT WOULD BE OKAY. IT'S TYPICALLY AN HOUR ONCE A MONTH IN THE EVENING, AND WARREN HAS AGREED TO DO THAT. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE TO HAVE HIM IN THE COUNCIL OFFICE. HE'S DONE A LOT OF STUFF, AND I WISH I COULD MENTION ALL OF IT, BUT I KNOW THE NIGHT IS LATE, BUT I WANT HIM. I WANT THIS TO BE RECORDED SO THAT HE CAN TAKE THE SWAG AT LINK AND PUT IT IN HIS GOOGLE DOC. AND WHEN HIS KIDS GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, HE'LL KNOW WHAT HIS HIS FORMER BOSS SAID ABOUT HIM. BUT HE HAS CLEANED UP THE WEBSITE FOR THE COUNCIL OFFICE. HE'S HAD A LOT OF GRAPHICS AND CLICK THROUGH TO THE WEBSITE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED THE PICTURES THAT ARE NOW HANGING UP ON THE WALL. THAT WAS AN IDEA FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON, AND WARREN FOUND THOSE FRAMES THAT WE CAN HANG THEM UP THERE. HE HAS FIGURED OUT QUITE A BIT OF THE BACK END OF PRIME GOVERNMENT. BEEN ABLE TO EDIT A LOT OF THE DOCUMENTS BEHIND THE SCENES AND THE WORKFLOWS THAT THE STAFF USES, AND KIND OF WEST JORDAN IFY. IT KEPT OUR SOCIAL MEDIA GOING, COMMUNICATES VERY WELL WITH THE RESIDENTS WHEN THEY SEND THEIR EMAILS. HE'S DONE A LOT AND HE'S GOING TO BE MISSED. AND I WILL HIRE SOMEONE THAT I'M SURE ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WILL WANT TO RECRUIT IN A COUPLE YEARS SO I CAN HAVE 67% RETENTION. AGAIN, ANOTHER L TRAIN ANOTHER. YEAH, I'LL TRAIN ANOTHER ANOTHER AGENCY OR ANOTHER DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE. BUT THAT'S GOOD. THEY HAVE THE ALLEN ANDERSON COUNCIL OFFICE TOUCH AS THEY THEY MOVE ON. WARREN WILL BE THE RISK MANAGER FOR THE CITY REPLACING DELL. I HOPE I'M NOT TAKING YOUR THUNDER JOSH OR MAYOR. BUT HE'S LEAVING THE COUNCIL OFFICE BRANCH AND HE'S GOING OVER TO TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH COUNCIL.

I HAVE GREAT NEWS. WE FOUND A VERY QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE TO TO JOIN THE TEAM IN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE WARREN WORKING AS OUR NEW RISK MANAGER IN THE CITY. HE'S GOING TO DO A VERY GOOD JOB. I DON'T BELIEVE THE COUNCIL APPROVED THIS, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT. WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO GO TO THE MISTER? NO. FUN IS BEYOND ME.

YEAH. SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF HE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING IF HE'D LIKE TO, BUT THAT'S ALL I
